dpaSomalia was launched through the compassion of Somalia diaspora who were devastated upon seeing the conditions in which their countrymen were living in. Having the privilege of coming from a developed country, access to health care and the availability of food, which are basic human rights, are often taken for granted. It is a harsh reality that we are among a privileged group and many basic human needs are not available to Somalis living in one of the poorest countries in the world.

It is through this realization that we were compelled to take action and hope that through collective collaboration we can make a meaningful and sustainable impact to the lives of Somalis.
